Ralph Suter recently proposed approval/disapproval voting, which (as a 
natural disapprover) I found attractive.

Maybe something similar makes sense for ranked voting. You rank as many 
candidates as you want, leaving the rest blank if you have no opinion, 
or marking an X if you positively dislike them. If there are only 5 
candidates, it's just as easy to rank all 5, but if there are 10, most 
of whom you know nothing about, you don't want to rank the full set in 
order to indicate your view of a couple of monsters. So maybe something 
of this sort would encourage voters to provide enough information to 
make ranked voting work on fields of size 10 or so.
